  • Fedex's 2020 Annual Report
    FEDEX CORPORATION 20 FEDEX CORPORATION 20 ANNUAL REPORT ANNUAL 2020 Annual Report Building the network for what’s next To our shareowners, In last year’s letter, I described fiscal year 2019 as a year of challenge and change with more to come in fiscal year 2020, as was certainly the case — especially with the emergence of COVID-19. When I discussed confronting challenges and embracing opportunities in last year’s letter, I covered three enormously consequential developments for FedEx, which all merit reiterating: > Trade disputes that began in calendar year 2018 and accelerated in calendar year 2019; > Strategic decision-making to position FedEx as the dominant e-commerce player; and > Strategically timed aircraft and hub modernization programs. Challenge & change — trade disputes: Trade is an essential element of prosperity. Arguably one of the biggest changes that has increased prosperity since the end of World War II has been the opening of global markets and the growth of trade. FedEx serves more than 220 countries and territories, making us an enormous enabler and beneficiary of free trade, and as we finished fiscal year 2018, FedEx experienced one of the strongest quarters in the company’s history. As illustrated in the below chart, in calendar year 2018 the trade disputes dealt a devastating blow to the global industrial economy, which is very much dependent on global trade. Our company’s commercial business suffered across the board as the trade disputes escalated. We were most adversely affected in Europe, where we were in the midst of the integration of TNT. FedEx was among the first to recognize this slowdown in global trade, and we responded to this challenge by actively managing costs while continuing to make the necessary investments for long-term success.
